Hamlet is presented as a devoted son to the memory of his father, King Hamlet. In the beginning of the play, the audience recognizes Hamlet’s difficulty to except his father’s death. This is because of great amount of love, respect and admiration he has for his father as well as the disgust he has towards the hasty marriage of his mother and his uncle. One example that shows Hamlet’s loyalty to his father is in the beginning of the play when he is the only one still in mourning. Because his loyalty to his father is so strong, he continues to mourn his father even though his uncle and his mother have already persuaded the court as well as the kingdom to embrace the new reign.
Though there are many characters Friar Lawrence is most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet with no one knowing that these two foes are now husband and wife. Friar Lawrence states, “To turn your households’ rancor to pure love “(II.iii.92). The Friar thought it would be a good idea to marry them so both their families could stop hating each other and maybe start to like each other by having Romeo and Juliet married. Friar Lawrence tells Romeo, “Wisely and slow.
Cynthia Clement Hamlet Eulogy Fellow Danes, we gather here today to mourn the death of our sweet prince. It is natural we send our dear Prince to the next world at the very stage his father, the great King Hamlet, was sent. Death comes too late for some, but it called for Prince Hamlet to early, and refused him the opportunity to show his talents to us. He, however, did meet death with bravery, honor, and compassion, traits we shall dearly miss in our Prince. There has never been a man as brilliant as he and no man who loved the theatre as much as he.

Hamlet, the young prince of Denmark, is considerably successful in keeping his promise to the ghost of his father. While he manages to purge Denmark of its corruption and avenge his father’s death by killing Claudius, the commandment does not live “all alone…within the book and volume” of Hamlets brain, he is not indecisive, but morally astute. Hamlet finds himself trapped between two moral imperatives, whether to obey his filial duty to his father or commit a mortal sin by killing another man. Ultimately, Hamlet overcomes his moral complication and fulfils the ghost’s wishes. From the outset of the play, and the first appearance of the ghost, Hamlet knows what he must do; however, his moral obligations get in the way.
Macbeth then begins to ponder the power of fate. However at the same time, Banquo understands the role that free will plays when he quotes I. iii. 158-160 “New honors came upon him,/ Like ouir strange garments, cleave not/ to their mold/ But with the aid of use.” I. ii. 8-12 “And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling/ Showed like a rebel’s whore, but all’s too weak:/ For brave Macbeth-- well he deserves that name--/ Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel,/ Which smoked with bloody executions,” A bleeding captain returns from the battlefield and describes to Duncan and Malcolm the victory of Macbeth
At the start of the play, Shakespeare introduces Claudius as a wise and confidant ruler with no apparent flaw. He portrays himself to be mourning for the recent loss of his brother the prior king. As the play goes on, Hamlet learns of his father’s murder which causes him to act unusually. Claudius, sensing Hamlet’s change in character, employs his servants to spy on his nephew. His suspicion of Hamlet is only minor until he watches the play written by Hamlet.
One quintessential part of the plot deals with Hamlet’s struggling with his mother’s incestuous betrayal to his father until he finally confronts her, which is embodied in his dramatic monologue in Act 3 Scene IV. The reasoning behind why Hamlet gives this monologue is that he wants his mother, Gertrude, to see what crime and sin she has committed and to make her feel guilt for it. Towards the end of the first half of his monologue, Hamlet provides a harsh reality check to Gertrude, declaring “This was your husband: look you now, what follows. Here is your husband; like a mildew’d ear” (Lines 63-4). This section clearly depicts Hamlet’s intent of trying to erect guilt in Gertrude by contrasting her former and present husbands.
